Ai Edit Recording - Aiwa Z-M260 Operating Instructions Manual

AI EDIT RECORDING

The AI edit function enables CD recording without worrying about
tape length and track length. When a CD is inserted, the unit
automatically calculates the total track lengths. If necessary,
the order of tracks is rearranged so that no track is cut short.
(AI: Artificial Intelligence)
AI edit recording will not start from a point halfway into the tape.
The tape must be recorded from the beginning of either side.
Use the remote control from steps 3 to 6.
1 Insert the tape into Deck 2, and press the DOLBY
NR button to turn Dolby NR on or off.
Insert the tape with the side to be recorded on first facing out
from the unit.
2 Press the CD button and load the disc(s).
3 Press the EDIT/CHECK button once.
"EDIT" lights up and "AI" appears on the display.

Time on cassette tapes and editing time
The actual cassette recording time is usually a little longer than
the specified recording time printed on the label. This unit can
program tracks to use the extra time. When the total recording
time is a little longer than the tape's specified recording time
after editing, the display shows the extra time (without a minus
mark), instead of the time remaining on the tape ( with the minus
mark).
• Recording is inhibited if the erasure prevention tab on either
side of the tape is broken off.
• The AI edit function cannot be used with discs containing 31
tracks or more.
